So, apparently, Fallout 5 is happening. But I’m not holding my breath just yet. According to what Jez Cordon over at Windows Central spilled, Zenimax gave the green light for Fallout 5. Cool, right? But wait, there’s a catch. This might mess with Project Blackbird, the MMO thing the folks from Elder Scrolls Online were cooking up. If Jez is onto something, life could get wild for Bethesda fans soon.
Look, everyone’s jazzed about this single-player Fallout return, and why not? It’s been nearly a decade! Feels like forever. Yet come on, was this ever in doubt? Bethesda diving back into Fallout was as sure as the sky is blue. Odd timing, though, given Bethesda’s all over the place with Starfield lately. Starfield, the big new venture that’s still in its toddler years, was supposed to be a major player for a while. But…ugh. The dream crumbles. Fallout 5 might just steal Starfield’s spotlight.
Let’s talk about Starfield. The game hasn’t exactly exploded the way Xbox hoped. It’s got its fans—I’m one of them, no shame—but, yeah, it’s not the next Skyrim. Or Fallout 3. There’s chatter that Bethesda could turn it around with free updates or cool DLC… but I’m not holding my breath. Remember Shattered Space? Supposed to be a big deal. Didn’t really do it, did it? There’s been radio silence from Bethesda since then. Maybe they’ve got big plans for 2025? I don’t know, nobody knows. It’s like waiting for a bus that might never show.
All rumors aside, Fallout 5 isn’t popping up out of nowhere. Starfield’s been a messy launch, to put it kindly. So, hey, maybe shuffling resources to Fallout makes financial sense. Seriously, Fallout’s got this unexpected revival thing going on. Fallout 76? Still chugging along. And there’s a TV show now? Who knew? Meanwhile, Starfield’s kind of just chilling, waiting for someone—anyone—to care.
What’s clear is that Fallout 5 feels like a safer bet for Zenimax and Microsoft. In a fun twist of irony, developers at Bethesda might just be eager to get back to familiar turf after Starfield’s bumpy ride through space.
And that’s where we stand. Who knows what’s next for these games in this chaotic rollercoaster? Only time—and maybe a few more rumors—will tell.
